C.J. Anderson Reaches Mark Not Seen Since Terrell Davis

DENVER (CBS4) - Broncos running back C.J. Anderson hit an important team milestone in Sunday's game.

Since Terrell Davis did it from 1995 to 1998, Anderson is the first Bronco running back to rush for 300 or more yards in four consecutive seasons.

Anderson needed 65 yards going into the game against the Oakland Raiders, and got it in the 3rd quarter on a 40-yard run.

That's good for 12th all-time with the Broncos.
